Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 205, Section 204: "Shining Star" airs, Zhou Ye and Zhang Jingyi compete on the track (4K)

"You want to buy insider information for one yuan? Sister Tong, are you kidding me?"

"It was definitely a joke. What about that penny?"

Li Yitong couldn't help but laugh after he finished speaking.

Lin Shaobai, seeing Li Yitong's smiling eyes, couldn't help but take out his phone: "I've noticed that you look remarkably like something."

Upon hearing this, Li Yitong's smile instantly froze on his face.

"What is it?"

"this."

Lin Shaobai pulled out a picture from his phone and showed it to Li Yitong: "It looks like this cat. Look at those squinty eyes, it's just like you."

Li Yitong leaned over to take a look: "Hahaha, that's true, it does look a bit like it."

The two were chatting and laughing happily in front of the recording studio, completely unaware that Tian Xiwei had also quietly come over.

Tian Xiwei stopped disturbing the idols' practice and decided to go find Lin Shaobai.

As a result, Lin Shaobai and Li Yitong talked for too long and still haven't finished.

When Tian Xiwei saw the two people in the stairwell, she stopped and frowned.

"You actually managed to chat for this long?"

"What time is it already?"

"It's time for dinner."

"Don't you all want to work?"

Tian Xiwei spun around three times in a resentful manner, glancing occasionally at Lin Shaobai and Li Yitong in the distance.

Tian felt that if he didn't do something, the two of them might keep talking until night.

Now I'm not only jealous, but also hungry—it's a double torment!
"We've been chatting for way too long!"

Tian Xiwei simply couldn't stand it anymore.

She strode towards the two of them, and when she got close, she gave a fake smile: "Hello, Sister Li Yitong!"

The sudden arrival startled her, causing her to step back. She then smiled and asked, "Hello, who are you?"

Lin Shaobai: "Let me introduce her. Her name is Wang Cuihua. She is my friend and an artist in my company."

"Wang, my foot! You're the one who's Wang Cuihua!"

Tian Xiwei could only introduce herself to Li Yitong: "Excuse me, my name is Tian Xiwei. Nice to meet you, you can just call me Xiao Tian."

"Oh, hello Xiaotian."

"Mr. Lin, I've been looking for you for so long. Aren't you hungry? It's already this late."

After greeting everyone, Tian Xiwei turned to Lin Shaobai and said that her main purpose was to find out if they could have a meal.

We had agreed to have dinner together.

"Go right away."

Li Yitong stood to the side watching the two people, paying particular attention to Lin Shaobai's gaze.

She keenly noticed that Lin Shaobai looked at this young lady with a unique tenderness.

Such a gaze is not even easily seen in the mainstream media.

"The company's artists...are young and beautiful..."

Li Yitong put his hand to his mouth and muttered to himself as he thought.

With so many factors combined, it's hard not to overthink things.

Li Yitong had this guess in his mind.

Could it be that she saw some big news today?

Did he meet the girl that Lin Shaobai, a top-tier celebrity, likes?
Are the two people in a romantic relationship, or is it just something ambiguous?

Li Yitong became increasingly depressed as he thought about it.

She just thought that if that were true, then Lin Shaobai had really hidden himself well.

She hasn't been photographed having any romantic relationships since her debut.

"Since you have other things to do, Teacher Lin, I won't bother you any longer. I came here mainly to make a friend."

Seeing this, Li Yitong quickly offered a way out.

"Should I also check on the progress of the new song?" Lin Shaobai said with a smile.

Li Yitong: "I guess so."

"Anyway, the album is coming out soon, so you can look forward to it, Sister Tong."

"Okay. You two go ahead with your work, I'll be going now."

Li Yitong and his assistant left Baichen Entertainment and got into their private car.

"Sister Tong, I've helped you get what you wanted. How are you feeling?"

"It's good, but it's not good either."

Li Yi lowered his head and straightened his coat.

"What do you mean?"

The assistant stayed in the lounge on the first floor and did not go out with her artist.

"I was happy to see Teacher Lin, but I was also unhappy to see Teacher Lin with other people." Li Yitong turned to look out the car window and continued leisurely, "If Lin Shaobai decides to promote Tian Xiwei, I think... she will become famous very soon."

This was only partially understood, and even the assistant was confused.

Never mind, today's main task is to get my artists' contact information.

"There's something else very important. Sister Tong, you've forgotten again, haven't you?"

"What?"

"You always manage to leave your phone somewhere else, but thankfully I'm here!"

"...How could I forget my phone again?!"

Li Yitong patted his head with his elbow, realizing that his habit of losing his phone everywhere was still the same.

It's not a persona; he just had a bad memory after falling and hitting his head while filming.

……

……

September has arrived.

On September 1st, "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star," starring Lin Shaobai and Zhang Jingyi, was launched on the Kiwi platform.

Because it stars Lin Shaobai, it was advertised on the big screen on the first day of its premiere.

Lin Shaobai is the eternal god of wealth for kiwifruit. The banner that reads "Save my dog's life" still hangs in Lin Shaobai's bedroom.

In 2019, it quickly sparked a nationwide craze for watching dramas after its unique combination of campus romance and infinite flow format was broadcast!
The story of endlessly traveling back in time to find the boy she secretly loves has been found to be very novel by netizens.

While a typical sweet campus romance drama might only have a limited audience, this TV series cleverly added suspense elements to broaden its appeal.

The official Kiwi Fruit website summarized the TV series with the phrase "Lin Shaobai and Zhang Jingyi's Love Cycle" and used this phrase in its television promotions.

Many romance dramas aired at the same time, but compared to Lin Shaobai's drama, it was like an egg hitting a rock.

Most people went to see it because of Lin Shaobai.

Everyone who's seen it says it's great!
As passersby gradually entered the theater, the show's popularity exploded!
Since its premiere, it has consistently topped the list of TV dramas featuring kiwifruit and frequently appeared on Weibo's trending topics.

The most captivating aspect of this drama is Zhang Wansen, played by Lin Shaobai.

#Lin Shaobai Zhang Wansen# continues to dominate the top spot on the trending searches, with the character's popularity exceeding 100 million and topping the character rankings.

Lin Shaobai, through his role as Zhang Wansen, has once again become the white moonlight in the hearts of many girls.

[Waaaaah, why does Lin Shaobai always play men who don't exist in real life!]

[Oh my god, my colleague recommended this TV series to me. I was indifferent to Lin Shaobai before, but after watching this show, I'm completely captivated.]

[The main reason is that Zhang Wansen's character is just too good [screaming]! I've never seen such a devoted male lead before. He doesn't even know the female lead, yet he's willing to die for her.]

[Zhang Wansen is undoubtedly the one who secretly admires the most talented person.]

[Who was the brilliant strategist who came up with the character of Zhang Wansen? A large part of the reason this show is so popular is because of Lin Shaobai's portrayal of Zhang Wansen.]

Please, God, grant me a Zhang Wansen. Not only is he handsome, but his love is also pure.

[Thankfully, the ability to travel through time exists; otherwise, Lin Beixing would never have known how much Zhang Wansen loved her.]

[The director has such a great eye; he actually managed to find Lin Shaobai to play Zhang Wansen. He's handsome and deeply affectionate; my grandma, my mom, and I all adore him.] Lin Shaobai's popularity from this drama is inevitable; besides his increased fame, he also landed a luxury brand endorsement.

[Jimmychoo Global Brand Ambassador]!
The title is the world's largest, number one in the world, with a full range of products, officially announced globally, and launched directly without a trial period!
Lin Shaobai reaped great rewards, and Zhang Jingyi, the female lead of the drama, also experienced unprecedented popularity.

That youthful, artistic face is a perfect match for this kind of drama.

Her portrayal of Lin Beixing successfully won the hearts of many netizens.

Her Weibo followers are growing rapidly, and she is competing with Zhou Ye for the most popular actresses.

After watching the show, everyone naturally expressed their opinions about Xiao Zhang.

[You're all talking about Zhang Wansen, am I the only one who thinks the female lead in this drama is particularly beautiful?]

I looked into it, and the actress's name is Zhang Jingyi. This is her first drama.

My goodness, to have such a huge hit with my very first drama? I must be incredibly lucky!

[Could he be a "resource-backed" celebrity?]

[I also feel like she's a "resource-backed" actress. She just entered the entertainment industry and already got to act with Lin Shaobai? How many female stars want to act with Lin Shaobai?!]

Zhang Jingyi is really beautiful, and she's a good actress too.

I think she and Lin Shaobai have great chemistry.

Yang Zi is the actress with the best on-screen chemistry with Lin Shaobai!

[It's clearly Zhou Ye, okay? Have you guys even calculated how many years older Yang Zi is than Lin Shaobai?]

[Ahhh, I've found a fellow "Lan Zhou Shao Bing" shipper! Sisters, let's ship them!]

However, recently, the CP pairing of Lin Shaobai and Zhang Jingyi, "Jing Shen Bai Bei," has also entered the top 20 of the CP rankings.

The online discussion is heated, but Zhang Jingyi herself doesn't have much time to read these comments right now.

In August, she traveled around alone with her suitcase, and at this moment she is climbing a mountain with trekking poles at an altitude of more than 4000 meters.

The company she signed with, Dongsheng Future, is owned by Zhou Xun, who dotes on her to the point that he treats her with utmost care and fears she might get hurt.

There was no rush to bring her back.

When Zhang Jingyi reached the top, she wanted to take off her mask to take a selfie as a souvenir, but she was recognized by two little girls next to her!
"Um, hello, are you Lin Beixing?"

Two passersby timidly ran over.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Jingyi quickly put on her mask.

Having already been recognized, all he could do was reply, "Uh, yes."

"what!"

"Shh! Um, could you please keep your voice down?"

Zhang Jingyi quickly put her index finger to her lips.

"oh oh."

Fortunately, the two tourists didn't announce it loudly, and so far only the two of them have discovered that Zhang Jingyi is traveling here.

Zhang Jingyi followed the two to a corner before taking off her mask.

"Wow, Zhang Jingyi, you're even prettier in person than on TV."

"Celebrities are definitely 100 times, no, 10000 times more attractive offline than online!"

"Thank you for the compliment." Zhang Jingyi smiled shyly and awkwardly straightened her backpack.

"With the TV series 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star' being so popular, why are you climbing a mountain here? You're different from other celebrities."

"Um... I'm planning to go back soon."

When the TV series aired, she, as the female lead, was also responsible for promoting it and doing live streams.

There's still so much to do; I can't keep wandering around in the desert, ocean, and snow-capped mountains like before.

"So, are you going to do a live stream with Lin Shaobai when you get back?"

The two tourists inexplicably revealed gossipy smiles when they talked about this topic.

Since I'm here, why not take this opportunity to be a little bolder?!
Zhang Jingyi was taken aback.

"We can all ship you and Lin Shaobai as a couple."

"Yeah. They always said that Lin Shaobai and Yang Zi had great chemistry, but I never got it until 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star' aired. Then I realized that Lin Shaobai is definitely the best match for you!"

"I was just saying, there was another couple with Zhou Ye before. I think you're the best match for him. Zhang Wansen and Lin Beixing should be together!"

Zhang Jingyi didn't say anything on the surface, but she was secretly overjoyed.

Ah, it feels so good to hear that.

As long as it's better than Senior Sister Zhou's match!
at the same time
Zhou Ye sneezed countless times in the hotel he was staying in.

She even wondered if she had rhinitis.

"Holy crap."

Zhou Ye's nose was red, his eyes drooped, and he stared at his phone screen, saying, "Who on earth is it that keeps cursing at me all day? I've been sneezing all day."

"Could it be Junior Sister Zhang?"

"I've already lost contact with Junior Sister Zhang, so why is she still cursing at me?"

Zhou Ye was filled with resentment.

If you think about it carefully, Zhang Jingyi was the mistress, but it turned out that Zhou Ye, who was dating Lin Shaobai first, withdrew.

"Seriously. Could it be that I already have competitors in this field so soon?"

It's still the era of the post-90s generation.

Zhou Ye is considered one of the top actresses born after 95.

Originally, Bai Lu, Zhao Lusi, and Yu Shuxin, the three top actresses in the original timeline, did not become popular. They were overtaken by Ye Zi before they could even stand out.

At this point in time, the only one who is competitive is Guan Xiaotong.

Now, thanks to the airing of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star," this field has gained another young and beautiful actress, Zhang Jingyi, who also possesses a face that seems to glow like the moonlight.

Zhang Jingyi's name has quietly appeared on the list of most popular actresses.

"Didn't expect to be competing with other racetracks so soon?"

Zhou Ye seemed to have anticipated this all along.

It seems we will eventually become competitors on the same track.

Zhou Ye clenched his fists and punched the bed next to him frantically.

"Ugh, this Junior Sister Zhang is unbelievable! It's one thing to steal my man, but now she's even trying to steal my path to internet fame?!"

"Now it seems she's still not as good as me..."

"No, we can't let our guard down. Without exposure, we'll die fast. I need to talk to my agent about this."

Just as she was about to call her agent, she unexpectedly received a call from Lin Shaobai.

Zhou Ye was clearly stunned for a few seconds, and hesitated for a long time before pressing the call button.

"Hey?"

"Senior, there's an offline business opportunity—"

"Lin Shaobai."

Zhou Ye suddenly interrupted.

Lin Shaobai on the other end of the phone was also a little confused.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm a little anxious."

"Hmm?" Lin Shaobai smiled. "It's normal to be anxious. It would be abnormal for Senior Sister not to be sentimental late at night."

"I'm anxious about my career."

"You don't need to worry about that. I guarantee you'll become even more successful under my guidance. Isn't that what I told you from the beginning?"

"Didn't you notice that Zhang Jingyi and I look somewhat alike?"

Zhou Ye's voice suddenly rose two octaves on the phone.

"Similar appearance...you two look alike?"

"Who looks like her? I'm 100 times prettier than her!"
